WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Donald G. Verkuylen
Case No.: 2016AP2364
Officials: Lundsten, J.
Donald G. Verkuylen appeals the circuit court’s order finding that Verkuylen’s refusal to submit to a blood test violated the implied consent law that applies to motor boating, WIS. STAT. §§ 30.683 and 30.684. A first offense violation of that law, as was charged here, entails only a civil forfeiture. See WIS. STAT. §§ 30.684(1)(b)2. and 30.80(6)(a)1. For reasons explained below, I conclude that each of Verkuylen’s arguments lacks merit or is forfeited. I affirm the order.
